HINTS: • Do not cook/reheat/defrost directly onto the base of the oven — use a suitable container.
• When defrosting multi portions of foods, turn over and break apart halfway through defrost time to
allowbetter penetration of microwave energy.
• Solid/dense foods should not be cooked from frozen as they will be overcooked round the edges
beforethe centre has reached the required temperature.
• Cover dishes where appropriate during cooking/reheating. This will retain moisture and prevent
splashing/spillages.
• Loosen lids/pierce clingfilm before cooking/reheating covered foods.
• Stir or shake foods halfway through cooking/defrosting time to distribute the heat evenly.
• Allow a Stand Time before food temperature is checked and/or offered for consumption.
